April 12, 20214 yr comment_5947051 I ended up being the high voter for Sheamus in 2016, and I think he's very much a guy who's added to his resume since then. He had the best of 7 series with Cesaro leading to the Bar run as one of the best teams in the world. He's remained constant throughout, he's someone you always get a good performance from, through to this year where he's been a really standout on WWE TV in 2021. I had him top 50 last time, and I can see him being one of my guys who doesn't drop even with a deeper dive into wrestlers I'd overlooked- there were wrestlers I had above him who'll be placing lower in 2026.
April 12, 20214 yr comment_5947086 I had this revelation about Sheamus as I wrote up my thoughts on Mania night 2. To me, he is kind of a WWE version of Tomohiro Ishii. He lays in his stuff, he isn’t afraid of taking a big shot when needed. Maybe his highs aren’t as high, but he serves a similar purpose. Underrated tag wrestler. At this point he is credible vs anyone you feud him with. And unlike Ishii, Sheamus will get a push here and there from time to time.
April 12, 20214 yr comment_5947199 I would of said Sheamus hasn't really added a lot in recent years that would change my outlook on him for GWE, but then in 2021 he's been on a hot streak of matches and would challenge Bryan hard for the title of best wrestler in the company. Two super PPV performances this year Vs Drew and Riddle and with a title in his possession he'll have opportunities to keep impression. He'll absolutely make my list, but probably bottom half.
October 23, 20213 yr comment_5966481 Could we get a list of Sheamus's best matches in 2020-21? Keep hearing he's doing great work lately....

October 25, 20213 yr comment_5966652 There's also a Falls County Anywhere match vs Big E that took place in 10/09/2020. It was glorious.
September 1Sep 1 comment_6033972 Having just watched the Donnybrook match against Rusev from Clash in Paris, I had to go back and look at my list and was a little surprised that Sheamus wasn't on it. Now, in 2016, I was, admittedly, not a big fan of him but I've definitely come around and am thinking he's almost guaranteed to make my list somewhere in the 70-90 range. I think what changed/clicked for me with him was that, for awhile, I thought he was a guy who needed a great dance partner to be impressive, whether it was Danielson or Dustin Rhodes, but then he just amassed such a great catalog of matches with so many other wrestlers that it became undeniable that he wasn't just a big, meaty broomstick. Some post-2016 faves: - vs. Ludwig Kaiser vs. Bron Breaker (Survivor Series 2024) - vs. GUNTHER (Clash at the Castle 2022) - w/ Cesaro vs. The Usos (Survivor Series 2017) - vs. Jeff Hardy (Backlash 2020) - vs. Drew McIntyre (Fastlane 2021) - vs. Matt Riddle (WrestleMania XXXVII)
